I recently redesigned a habitat for humanity website, located here: The gallery page that exist there right now is what I want to integrate Gallery2 into. It's just simple html with CSS, no content management software is running. I have setup a test install of Gallery two on my own website here: http://www.davestechsupport.com/habitatdraft/gallery2 I read over a tutorial somewhere on the web somewhere not too long ago about how this could be done, but it was a little intimidating. What should I do? |

Take this page:
http://www.topekahabitat.org/contact.html
and copy it.
remove all the info in the middle and add the word Gallery.
save
take the html up to the word Gallery and paste it into theme.tpl
take the html from the word Gallery down the the bottom and paste in theme.tpl
You might have to change some <doc type> tags but it should work out.
if you get stuck post a link to your template you make out of contact.html

Well, here's a link to the modified theme.tpl file. When I try to load my gallery now, I just get a blank white screen.
A backup is located here.
Thanks for your help so far! Now what should I do?

I guess I did not make sense. I need a link to your HTML file you made with the word gallery in it.
404 error.
You should edit files only in the local directory. See:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Editing_Templates
Could be because you did not escape the javascript in the file.
http://www.smarty.net/manual/en/language.function.literal.php
1 In your chosen theme's folder (ex. themes/matrix/templates), create a new folder named 'local'
2 Make a copy of the template you wish to edit in the 'local' folder (theme.tpl, album.tpl, photo.tpl, etc.)
3 Edit your copied template files in themes/matrix/templates/local/
How much HTML do you know?
you have more than one doctype , head and body tags.

Ok, here's a link to the modified contact.html
I've also restored the original tpl file for now.
I know a little HTML, but not a lot.
Ok, I got my gallery back the way it was, and got the custom contact.html file to display the right css stuff...

Save the attachment without the .txt extension.
You will see the changes I made... I had to use a full URL to the css file to test it.

This is great! Here's what it looks like now, thanks to your help.
Thank you very much for your help. I think I'll probably be able to take it from here.
